Another factor responsible for the rise of the worldwide market for base oil is the rigid emission standards that have brought a substantial change in the methods of lubricant formulation. However, the plummeting cost of crude oil, together with the gradual shift of refiners to the heavy, sour crude from its light, sweet version is projected to restrict the growth of the global base oil market in the coming years.
